Tucker is the first Astros player to win a Gold Glove. It was :55.
Nolan Arenado became the fourth infielder to win 10 straight Gold Gloves on Tuesday, when baseball's winners for the sport's most prestigious fielding awards were announced.
Arenado has won the Gold Glove at third base in each of his 10 seasons in the majors. It's the longest by a player at any position to start a career.
The only infielders who put together longer streaks were Hall of Famers Brooks Robinson and Ozzie Smith.
The Gold Gloves used to favor repeat winners, but this year's list changed that. All but one of the winners in the American League won their first gold Gloves.
The Indians pitcher, New York Yankees catcher, Toronto BlueJays first baseman, Baltimore Orioles second baseman, and Houston Astros catcher were the first ones to play in the American League.
DJ LeMahieu was the only repeat winner in the American League.
Arenado and his teammates on the National League side were familiar with one another. Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers was the first-time winner.
During the lead-up to the World Series, Philadelphia catcher J.T. Realmuto won his second Glove Glove, joining Houston's Carlos Pea and Tucker, who won the first one.
It's a pretty cool moment. Our teammates welcomed us with joy. We know the focus is the game, so we're going to enjoy this and then get ready for the game.
Another record was set by Pena, who was a winner during his first season. There was only one other time in which there were two rookies in the same year.
Carlos Correa, who won the award last season, was the heir apparent to the position in Houston and he proved to be a worthy replacement. It was the first time a rookies won a Gold Glove.
I was in shock because I didn't know that was a thing. It's pretty neat.
Trent Grisham of the Padres won for the second time, while Mookie Betts of the Dodgers won for the sixth time. Fried was honored three times.
